Pip and I enjoyed a pleasant but hot walk (5ks/43mins) this afternoon, I was glad that I hadn't planned on running as it was still 32 degrees at 5.00 pm.

My legs are a bit sore from yoga yesterday. I always seem to feel it in the groin area, obviously running does not stretch this area at all. In fact I think that running does not help with stretchability at all. I came to the conclusion in the class that I am not very good at yoga. Most of the women who go are a lot older than me and a lot more flexible. We have all been doing it for about the same time, but they have improved much more than I have. This is also probably because they practice yoga in between classes. It is always my plan to do this but some weeks it is hard enough to find the time to go running, let alone do yoga. Still I would like to be more flexible so I think that I will just have to try and find time.

Tomorrow morning I plan to be up early for a run. If the achilles is okay I will try a fartlek session - otherwise it will just be an easy run.

That's another fast walk RU - woohoo a fartlek session - can't wait to read the blog on that one ;-)

Enjoy it!

Hey RU

My friends are always telling me not to "feel it in the groin area."
but I persist.

As for Yoga I'm not very flexible either but we shouldn't stop trying as it is important.

I saw a while back that the guy, over 70 years old, who holds a record for a marathon in his age group is an Indian dude and he does yoga every day!
